I will never eat a lot of candy again, starting tomorrow I will start doing exercises and running in the evenings. I promise to always go to bed on time and not argue with my mother. Never again will I give in to any persuasion and I will learn to say the word no. And also, and also, and also... How many times have we made all sorts of promises to ourselves and others and taken oaths, sometimes funny and ridiculous, impossible even theoretically and ones that, to be honest, we never intended to fulfill! That's it... the day has come when you will have to answer for your words. Today is the Day of Fulfillment of Vows and Promises!
I promise and solemnly swear
We always took oaths and vows! The ancient Greeks and Romans, the Vikings and the Crusaders - all swore to the gods, to each other, to their tribe. And it must be said that the oaths were taken very seriously, it was shameful to be known as an oathbreaker...
With women, everything is more interesting, as more subtly organized and impressionable natures, they swore never to marry, or not to marry anyone other than him. But you never know how many promises a romantic nature could make! From refusing candy to taking a vow of silence.
Any woman at least once in her life promised herself: to go on a diet, not to eat flour and sweets, to radically lose weight and generally do yoga, fitness, swimming... and some even succeed. Promise and fulfill!
What about men's vows? What don’t they promise us, and most importantly, themselves! This is the Song of Songs - men's promises! They quit drinking, smoking, and walking to the left. This is the general minimum, and then there are virtuoso inventions like: Darling, I will give you this star! She will be an imperishable light... Well, then you know, all women know what comes next.
Yes, there are rare exceptions. But the majority, when making promises, for some reason quietly cross their fingers behind their backs - just in case.
Students vow to get married as soon as they pass the test, and football players and coaches vow to shave their heads or mustaches if they win. Have you seen a lot of suddenly bald forwards from our team? And who promised not to watch the next series until they redo everything around the house?
Having given your word, hold on!
Different peoples of the world have the most unique oaths, such that it is better not to promise to fulfill them!
- In good old England, for more than 700 years, only eight men kept the oath taken on January 1 at the sound of Big Ben - not to quarrel with their wife all year!
- I swear to divorce the entire harem! This is the most terrible oath among the Arabs. Interestingly, in case of breaking the oath, a new harem is provided for?
- When making a promise to the Almighty, you need to be careful! A Flemish merchant's son disappeared and the merchant promised to cast a statue of his son in gold in the form in which he was found, and dedicate it to all the saints. This is how the statue of a pissing boy, popular for centuries, appeared...
- The Irish generally take an oath by placing their hand on the most valuable thing a man has... Well, they think that it is their most valuable thing! During a penalty kick, the football players line up in this position (apparently they swear to something!).
What people promise: not to eat or drink, not to do something or, on the contrary, to succeed in everything at once, not to have a haircut or shave or, on the contrary, to go bald all my life, to memorize War and Peace, to sing at La Scala, to go to university or quit a job you don't like.
The most unusual oath...
What did you promise? It's time to execute!

Comic oath of the groom at ransom: funny promises to the bride
The bride's ransom is one of the most entertaining episodes of a wedding celebration, in which the groom proves his true love, showing his willingness to go through all the tests and overcome obstacles in order to be reunited with his betrothed. Having completed the tasks prepared by the bridesmaids and relatives of the bride, the groom can, at the final stage of the ransom, or having directly captured his beloved in the arms, pronounce an oath of fidelity , a promise to cherish and love his soul mate, a willingness to take on all male obligations and become a reliable support for the future families.
The ransom is a dreamy occasion for the groom to demonstrate his true love
Extraordinary promises of the groom
Let’s not forget that a ransom event carried out with humor presupposes a similar conclusion. Therefore, cool promises from the groom to the bride and those closest to her in front of everyone present would be appropriate. At modern weddings, young people are increasingly including in the solemn wedding ceremony vows to each other of love and fidelity, the desire to save the family, to go through life together, sharing joys and hardships in half, which is pronounced immediately after the painting. Such promises are played out solemnly and without jokes. But the ransom oath can easily be played out with humor and gags , although you should not include elements of vulgarity in it.
It is worth considering that this is not a youth party, but an event where completely different generations are present, people of advanced age and a different cultural upbringing
The groom's comic oath at the ransom can be planned in advance, or, alternatively, the newlywed can spontaneously include it in the final ransom scene, surprising even the organizers of the holiday. The texts of the oath can be completely different. Poems, of course, are fun, especially if they are composed personally , even if not very talented, but from the heart. Even better - in the form of a song, but prose will be appreciated no less. You can use poetic lines about love from famous classical poets, but it is advisable to add some humorous phrases from yourself.
Features and structure of a joke
So that the groom does not have to be embarrassed and the bride blushes when reading the words of a comic oath from a piece of paper, it should be memorable, cheerful and simple. Typically, the storyline of the newlyweds' vows contains humorous and serious moments. These are the usual and simply memorable parts:
Cool scene at a wedding
The beginning, in which we will talk about the relationship between those entering into marriage. How dear they are to their partner and how important this relationship is to them.
An accurate and balanced expression of the feelings and emotions of the groom and his bride about this event and their future life together.
Making mutual promises for the future, how to distribute roles in the family and how the answer will be for breaking this oath.
Of course, everything can be presented in poetic form, in the form of improvisation, or in a song or ditty. It will be more fun and relaxed this way. The surprise at the end of the oath text looks especially touching. An exchange between the newlyweds of cute souvenirs that have a certain meaning for the two of them. Or jointly drawing a coat of arms or symbol of a newly born family. An amazing moment of any wedding is the release of doves from the hands of the bride or balloons with the words of the oath. In any case, this will be the most solemn moment of the wedding after the painting and the traditional waltz of the newlyweds.
Tribune for the oath
To make the oath look more impressive and impressive, to pronounce it, you can think through the podium in advance, where the groom will solemnly ascend to voice the most important words dedicated to love , even if veiled under humor.
The groom reads a funny oath before the ransom
You can play out the moment in court style. Is he ready to tell the truth and only the truth? In order not to just shake the air, you can organize an oath for the groom - it should be some cool object (well, of course, not the Codex or the Bible), but certainly evoking associations with his soulmate. For example, many newlyweds choose the option with an item of the bride’s wardrobe - a funny oath on the bride’s bra, glove or garter will look really humorous and is unlikely to confuse even the most inveterate prudes. After all, this is just a piece of clothing (although you shouldn’t choose panties for such a mission - it would obviously be too much and vulgar).
The groom pronounces the words that he is ready to trust his wife, let her “go to women’s gossip” with her girlfriends, give flowers, not hide nest eggs (you can also be disingenuous), perform all the duties around the house (even in a dream), walk proud and important when walking with children. At the same time, no one requires you to memorize all the phrases in advance.
You can prepare the text on a creatively designed comic form and simply read it with intonation, having rehearsed it in front of the mirror in advance to look more convincing
Answers on questions
Another option is when the bride price leaders demand from the groom only answers to the questions posed. Questions or obligations are read out, and the groom answers - I will or will not, ready - not ready. This could be a very cool development. For example, is the newlywed ready to let his future wife go on vacation to a resort, or will he prepare breakfast himself every Sunday? What will he answer?
If the newlywed has not prepared the text of the oath in advance or may be confused in front of the public in answering unexpected questions, you can organize the vows in the form of cards that the groom will simply read out. By the way, such a composition can be played out very creatively by printing cards with obligations in advance, decorating them with plot pictures and tying them with a satin ribbon , thus putting them together.
The bride listens to the groom's promises
On each one you can leave a free field: “Completed”, where the wife will subsequently insert a “tick”. The following actions are included here - “Coffee in bed”, “Flowers”, “Kiss before leaving for work”, “Just wash the dishes”, “Go to the cinema”, or maybe even more specific actions, such as “Walking the dog” , “Sweeping”, etc.
By the way, it is precisely such card details that can also serve as ransom funds for bride ransom, when the groom pays for unfulfilled tasks not only with money, sweets or alcohol, but also with written promises. Just don’t overdo it, so as not to be considered stingy.
I won't hold on to the past
Your problems, your weaknesses, failures, regrets and mistakes can teach you a lot if you are willing to learn.
And they can be exhausting if you are not ready. So allow yourself to learn every day. Take everything as a useful lesson. If you regret some past decisions or actions, stop carrying it around. Then you did your best according to the knowledge and experience you had. You were younger then. Perhaps, if you were making a decision today, with more experience and knowledge, you would act differently. So cut yourself some slack. Time and experience will help you grow and learn to make the right decisions for yourself and those you care about.
Groom's oath to mother-in-law
It is worth noting the point - the oath, even if it is a joke, should also be pronounced in honor of the bride’s closest people, namely her parents. The groom's oath to his mother-in-law at her daughter's ransom will look especially symbolic. The groom should pronounce phrases not only dedicated to her “native blood”, but also to the bride’s mother herself, such as: “I am always ready to come to your pancakes”, “Give flowers to my most beloved second mother”, “Listen to advice”, “Become a reliable son-in-law, not divulging the secrets told.”
Social life

1. Meet new people more often. Even if you are an introvert, life without communication is boring. Start looking for new friends to spend time with. This is not only pleasant, but also useful, because minor acquaintances over time can develop into real friendship, romantic interest or business connections.
2. Become more confident in yourself. It will be difficult to fulfill your previous New Year's resolution when you are embarrassed by everyone and everything. If you can't overcome your shyness, a few simple techniques will help you.
3. Become more polite. How we behave and what we say determines how others treat us. Start watching your speech, eliminate bad words from your vocabulary and learn to be more courteous and gentle with people.
4. Spend less time on social networks. No voice messages or emoticons can replace live communication. Therefore, spend less time on social networks. Quitting completely from the Internet is, of course, too radical a step, but a periodic digital detox never hurts.
Comic promises and oaths of the groom at the ransom - interesting ideas
Traditionally, the ransom is carried out by the bridesmaids and groomsmen, and all organizing activities fall on their shoulders. They are the ones who create cool competitions, jokes, come up with questions, and also choose the style or theme of this part of the holiday.
Men often have nothing to do with the tests, but only obediently carry them out. But, although this part of the celebration refers to women's entertainment, there is an opportunity to diversify the event - the groom's oath at the ransom. A young man can create this vow either in secret from the girls or at their request.
How to Make Promise Cards for the Groom
If you don’t want to make vows, you can use promise cards. This is an easier method to implement, because all the words are already written and accompanied by visual design. But creating them will require spending time and resources.
What words to choose for the cards:
- Phrases do not have to be serious; most often, such cards contain something humorous related to family life. But so that the promises do not seem monotonous, you should add words about love and romance.
- Oaths can consist of one line or several, and it is good if the large text rhymes.
- Promises can be directed both to the future wife and to her relatives.
In addition to promises, an important element is what design is chosen. The cards can depict what they swear by - if it is material.
If the vow relates to something spiritual, then an impersonal drawing should be placed, because on such cards there should not be images of other people, especially women.
I will accept change when it is needed.
We always try to make the right choice, but how do we understand that now is the moment when we need to change something and move on? There are always warning signs, and you notice them, but you don’t always want to admit it. Relationships, work, place of residence - all this has an expiration date. And often we continue to be in the same place with the same people, doing the same thing, simply because we are afraid of change. The result is always the same: pain, disappointment, regret. Be smarter. Embrace change with open arms if you understand that it is necessary.
Customs at weddings
A lot of customs are now used from European countries. All of them are appropriate for a Russian celebration. Wedding planners remade and stylized them in a modern national style. One of these exciting events can be the groom's vows.
Suffice it to recall American or European films where the bride and groom look into each other’s eyes and pronounce solemn vows. For them this is not entertainment, it is an integral part of any celebration, which cannot be said about Russian weddings.
Despite this, words and vows of the groom can be inserted into a Russian wedding. They will sound especially original at the buyout. And there is a completely logical explanation for this. The ransom suggests that the man has come for the girl's heart.
He goes through a series of difficulties and tests, during which he shows his daring power, agility, strength, intelligence and insight. When a young man gets to his beautiful soulmate, it would be useful to pronounce an oath.
What vows do newlyweds say?
The presence or absence of an oath at the wedding should be taken care of in advance. This is a step that newlyweds should be prepared for. Not everyone can come up with beautiful and touching words on the fly. Therefore, prepare your speech a few days before the celebration.
The bride and groom must show their loved one the written text, in which case they will be able to correct it, correct errors, inconsistencies and shortcomings. Your text will be more aesthetically pleasing and beautiful.
The newlyweds must agree in advance on the nature of the vows to be taken. They can be touching, comic, written in poetry or prose. This will determine which direction we will have to move next.
The young people pronounce the words of the oath in front of a large number of people. At this time, unnecessary excitement and worry are possible, so there should always be a text nearby. Besides the fact that you can always peek into it, it will also become a great memory. The oath can be kept and then reread many years later.
It’s better to write several options at once. As a rule, the first one is always very long and protracted. So it shouldn’t be corrected. After a few days, start writing your vows again. The second time you will be able to express your thoughts more concisely, succinctly and restrainedly.

Comic vows
One of the most popular options is a comic oath. It is pronounced partly and seriously. This method will help to relax the atmosphere and set the guests up for fun. In addition, you can have a good laugh at the speeches that the newlyweds make.
As for the format, you should pay attention to poetry. Lyrical works are much better perceived. You will definitely have to prepare a sheet with the speech, since poetry will not tolerate it being forgotten.
The oath itself can be pronounced both to the future spouse and to her closest relatives. The bride will appreciate it if the groom writes a special speech for his mother-in-law and father-in-law.
- From now on I am your son-in-law, And I will promise you. Don't drink a hundred grams in vain. I want to tell you honestly that I will respect your daughter. I promise to help her in everything, and to keep the house clean myself. I will be quieter than a fish, And bring in up to... a lot of money. Sewing, washing and cleaning, We will bathe in gold. I will invite you to visit, and drink a hundred grams with you.
- I beg you, father-in-law and mother-in-law, to trust me with your love. I am noble, that’s for sure, and I’m always ready to love your daughter. I will surround her with care, kindness and beauty. She will not know what price everything is worth. And you, dear father-in-law and mother-in-law, come to our house more often. There, for you, I will definitely cook dinner and stand in silence.
- I promise forever to become the best husband. And may my wife be happy. Of course, I will build a house, And I will raise a son. And not just one, but a whole platoon of men. I’ll wash the dishes myself, so I won’t dirty my wife’s hands. And I will carry all the money to her, Let the coins rattle loudly in her pocket.

1. Stop procrastinating. The biggest obstacle that prevents us from achieving our goals is the desire to relax and do nonsense instead of working. The more accustomed you become to procrastination, the more difficult it is to pull yourself together and do something useful. So make an effort and start fighting it. Dealing with procrastination is difficult, but possible.
2. Improve concentration. Another enemy of productivity is the inability to fully focus on one thing. The ability to enter the so-called “state of flow” is an extremely important skill that will help you in work, in sports, in creativity, and in everyday affairs. Finally, set up notifications on your smartphone and train yourself to do only one task at a time, controlling your attention.
3. Learn to meditate. The benefits of meditation have been scientifically proven. It reduces the impact of inflammatory processes on the brain, has a positive effect on the immune system, improves concentration, and helps you rest and relax faster. Start meditating - it won't require much effort, but will bring great benefits to your body.
4. Get used to enjoying the little things. Most of us expect happiness in the future. We tell ourselves: “Now I’ll have to work harder and achieve this and that, and then I’ll definitely become happier.” But putting off positive emotions is stupid. Start enjoying small things like a cup of hot chocolate or a walk in the fresh air, and you will become happier today.
